Eco-driving is a range of everyday 
practices  that   allow   the   motorist   to  
optimise
  their   fuel   consumption   and  
C
o
2 emissions.
Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your 
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently   and   change   up   without   waiting.  
During
  acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   automatic   or   electronic  
gearbox,
  give   preference   to   automatic  
mode
  and   avoid   pressing   the  
accelerator
  pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you 
to
  engage   the   most   suitable   gear:   as  
soon as the indication is displayed in 
the
  instrument   panel,   follow   it   straight  
away
.
For
  vehicles   fitted   with   an   electronic  
or
  automatic   gearbox,   this   indicator  
appears
  only   in   manual   mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between 
vehicles,  use   engine   braking   rather  
than
  the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the  
accelerator
  progressively.  
These
  
practices contribute towards a 
reduction
  in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2 
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
help
 
to
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
If
 
your
 
vehicle
 
has
 
cruise
 
control,
 
make  
use
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
at
 
speeds
 
above
 
25
 
mph
 
(40
 
km/h)
 
when
 
the
 
traffic
 
is
 
flowing
 
well.
Control the use of your 
electrical equipment
Switch off the demisting and defrosting   controls,   if   not   automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as 
possible.
Switch
  off   the   headlamps   and   front  
foglamps
  when   the   level   of   light   does  
not
  require   their   use.
avoid running the engine before 
moving
  off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
vehicle
  will   warm   up   much   faster  
while
  driving.
a
s a passenger, if you avoid 
connecting
  your   multimedia   devices  
(film,
  music,   video   game...),   you  
will
  contribute   towards   limiting   the  
consumption
  of   electrical   energy,   and  
so
  of   fuel.
d
isconnect your portable devices 
before
  leaving   the   vehicle.
Before
 
moving
 
off,
 
if
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
is
 
too
 
warm,
 
ventilate
 
it
 
by opening the windows and air vents 
before
 
using
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning.
Above
 
30
 
mph
 
(50
 
km/h),
 
close
 
the
 
windows
 
and
 
leave
 
the
 
air
 
vents
 
open.
Remember
 
to
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
equipment
 
that
 
can
 
help
 
keep
 
the
 
temperature
 
in
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
down
 
(sunroof
 
and
 
window

Switch off the air conditioning, unless 
it
 
has
 
automatic
 
regulation,
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
the
 
desired
 
temperature
 
is
 
attained.

The

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode
  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,
  traffic   jams,   or   other...).
The
  engine   restarts   automatically   -  
ST
ART
 
 mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to  
move
  off.
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly
  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system
  reduces   fuel   consumption   and  
exhaust
  emissions   as   well   as   the   noise  
level
  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP modeThe "ECO"   warning   lamp  
comes
  on   in   the   instrument  
panel and the engine goes 
into
  standby:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , at speeds 
below
  12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you  
put the gear lever into neutral and 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
with a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox
,   at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8
  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into 
position 
N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a
  time   counter   calculates   the   sum   of  
the
  periods   in   STOP
 
 mode   during   a  
journey
.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the
  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox,   for   your   comfort   during  
parking
  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
 mode  
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.

functionality of the vehicle, such as 
braking,
  power   steering,   for   example.

-  
the vehicle is on a steep slope 
(rising or fallin
g),
-  
the driver's door is open,
-
  
the driver's seat belt is not 
fastened,
-
  
the vehicle has not exceeded 
  
6   mph   (10   km/h)   since   the   last

-  
the
   engine   is   needed   to   maintain

-

  where   the   engine  is needed to assure control of a 
system.
In this case, the 
"ECO" 
warning
  lamp   flashes   for   a  
few
  seconds,   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

  your   safety   and   comfort,   START
 
 is

 ,
-
 
you unfasten the driver's seat belt, In this case the 
"ECO" 
warning
  lamp   flashes   for   few

This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need to   maintain   a   comfortable   temperature   in the
  passenger   compartment,   it   may   be
 preferable
  to   deactivate   Stop   &   Start.
At any time, press the "ECO 
OFF"   switch to deactivate the 
system.
This
 
is
 
confirmed   by   the   switch   warning  
lamp
 
coming   on   accompanied   by   a  
message
  in   the   screen.
If
 
the
 
system   has   been   deactivated  
in
 
STOP

immediately
.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The   system   is   active   again;   this   is  
confirmed
  by   the   switch   warning  
lamp
  going   off   and   a   message   in   the
